The Chinese New Year 2012 falls on Monday 23 January which starts the Year of Dragon according to Chinese Zodiac and the celebration usually lasts for 15 days.

The celebration features lion dance, colorful performance, interesting games and prize draws. Free finger food and drinks will be provided on the day.
